Removing and Re-distributing content to DP groups

Hi all,
Would be keen to see if anyone else has this problem...
Example: you have a DP group with ALL distribution points - lets say you have 5 in this group.
DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, DP5
You send out a package update to the ALL DP's group - 4 arrive successfully, 1 fails.
You re-distribute the package to the failed DP, it fails again.
Now you want to remove the package, and add it again for troubleshooting. You remove the DP, you can now see that the package is sent only to 4 distribution points.
So now you re-add it, so distribute content, it's recognized as available to send to it, you add it in. and nothing - it won't update at all and won't send the package out.
The only way i found around this is to remove the whole DP group, but this then removes ALL dp's from the packages target, which is a giant pain in the rear as it means you have to re-distribute the whole package elsewhere.
Anyone else got this? A friend of mine replicated it on his own environment too, is this a bug?

I have seen a similar problem in my SCCM 2012 R2 environment. Yesterday, I wrapped up a case with Microsoft and was refunded because this is a known issue with 2012 R2. The engineer couldn't comment on when a fix would be available.
The symptom that I am seeing is that the content for the package never makes it to the distribution point. As far as all the logs are concerned, the package exists on the remote DP (the console even shows success on both the monitoring context, as
well as the status in the software library). However, if you try to deploy (in my case it was an operating system with a driver package), the sequence fails because the DP does not have the package.
This is the "workaround" I got from Microsoft:
Issue: Packages doesn’t get distribute properly on the DPs and “Monitoring Tab” shows the size of the package 0 MB.
Probable Cause: After upgrading to R2 or even with fresh installation of R2 sometimes the content lib structure doesn’t get structured in a proper way and whenever we distribute the package, the package actually doesn’t get
distribute properly even though it shows as distributed in the monitoring status.
Resolution: In order to resolve the issue, we just need to update the content/package on the DP again. Simply go the package/content and say “Update Distribution points” and it fix the issues.
I'm not 100% sure we're talking about the same thing, but the big visual indicator is that the console shows the package size as 0.0 MB. Redistributing it or validating the content does not seem to fix it. Apparently you have to Update all DPs
instead.

Does "Distribute content" on the right click menu for a OSD Task sequence also REDISTRIBUTE packages?

I have a task sequence with quite a few packages that have already been distributed. But that same task sequence has far more that have never been distributed.
When you Right click a SCCM OSD Task sequence and select "Distribute Content", does it also redistribute content that's already been distributed to existing DP's, or just the packages that have never been distributed?

Hi,
You can only select DP's that don't have the Packages required by the Task Seqeunce so no you cannot use it to update the DP's

How do I remove OSX/FkCodec-A from my Mac mini? I am running Yosemite and the path and file name is /Volumes/macvexe/macvexe.app/Contents/MacOS/mac.installer. Sophos was unble to remove and it will not go to trash.

Sophos found this on my mac mini (early 2009) - OSX/FkCodec-A and could not clean it up. I am running Yosemite 10.10 and the path and filename for this Trojan is /Volumes/macvexe/macvexe.app/Contents/MacOS/mac.installer. Could someone please tell me how to get rid of it as Sophos is unable to remove and Trash can remove it.

outdoor,
How did you originally install iWork on the Mac Pro? was it preinstalled? The machine seems old enough that you should have an original install DVD that came with the mac pro.
Amazon has the install DVDs for iWork '09:

To move tables between sheets you can select the table, copy, then paste after activating (by clicking) the destination sheet. If you really mean move, then use the cut command (rather than copy).
To copy... use the menu item "Edit > Copy"
To cut... use the menu item "Edit > Cut"
Then paste in the destination

Need to understand Site Assignment and Content Location Boundary Groups

Okay I am very confused about something that I am seeing that is throwing my understanding of how Boundary Groups work completely off.
Here is my dilemma:
I created two boundary groups, a site assignment and a content location boundary group. The site assignment boundary group contains all of my sites. The content location boundary group I have just has my datacenter systems where the DP installed on my site
server is being referenced in that boundary group.
Now, I had two pilot deployments. The very first pilot deployment I had I created a content location boundary group for that site and referenced the local DP and when I deployed software updates to the clients there, I kept getting timeout errors. The second
pilot deployment i had, I totally forgot to create a content location boundary group, but the software updates installed perfectly fine on those clients.
What the heck is going on here?
I thought if a content locatoin boundary group was NOT created for a remote site, then those clients would not be able to receive any content at all, period.
Can someone please, please explain to me what is going on here?
Thanks everyone

A couple of additional comments here that build on the previous by Peter and Nick.
Site assignment has nothing to do clients finding content so while it's good that you have a site assignment boundary group and even that you mentioned it, it has nothing to do with what's going on here. Also as a semantic side note, when referring
to remote locations, you shouldn't use the word "site" when discussing ConfigMgr because "site" means something very specific and could cause confusion. I typically try to use the word "location".
Clients that do not fall into a boundary within a content location boundary group automatically fall into a "default" boundary marked as slow in a default "boundary group". Neither of these is defined anywhere in the console or the product
so default isn't exactly the right word here, but it does convey the meaning. Thus, not being in a defined boundary does not mean that clients cannot get content, just that they will only get content allowed for slow boundaries or where fallback is enabled.

HT5527 I have had my storage reduced once already. In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents. I do notcare about contents so much as starting a new Save box. How? (OS X 10.7.5)

My iCloud storage is being reduced. I have already had it reduced once. In the process they removed my "Save" mailbox and all its contents. (One would think that that would be the last thing they removed. But they took that and the "Trash" mailbox, yet left several thousand old and read messages which were in my "Inbox".) I do not expect to get the "Save" contents back, but I would like to restore the "Save" mailbox, so that I can start from scratch saving msgs in it again. But I cannot figure out how to do that. When I go to "Mailbox" on the top line (between View and Message) and select New Mailbox I get a dialog box in which I can name a new mailbox. When I type Save, for the name of the new Mailbox I get a response; "The mailbox 'Save" already exists." But I cannot find it.
Thanks, Bill Burner

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

After moving my itunes library from my old WinXP computer to my new Win7 computer, itunes gives a warning that my content on my phone must be removed and re-synced. I want to merge changes/updates on my phone with my itunes library as normal, not erase it

After moving my itunes library from my old WinXP computer to my new Win7 computer, itunes gives a warning that my content on my phone must be removed and re-synced. I want to merge changes/updates on my phone with my itunes library as normal, not erase it & replace it. My updates/changes will be lost.
How do I merge content on my iPhone & content in iTunes together?

Hopefully you still have the original library and can redo the migration...
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Difference between "Distribute Content" and "Update Distribution Points"

Hi,
Can someone clarify this for me, I need to redistribute a package to all my distributions points. Should select distribute content and then select the DP's or should I just use the option "Update Distribution Points" to redistribute? TIA

Yes. Once content has been distributed you can not "Distribute Content" again to the same DP. However, you do have another option, go to the properties of the DP, "Content" tab, find the package in question and conduct a re-distribute.
This approach does not increase the versioning of the content whereas "Update Distribution Points" does.
P.S. If you have not read it yet, here is a great
article about content monitoring and validation.

Manually removed DP from package content location

Wanna ask, i did a manual remove on one of my problem DP from the package content location properties by selecting the DP and click on the remove button. Initially i target this package to install to a DP group and this problem DP is also part of the
DP group. Once removed, the DP dissapears from the content location list.
But the problem comes when i want to redistribute again to this DP. I select the package and just distribute to that particular DP only. After a few days, im still unable to see the DP in the content location list. Is this the correct way to remove the package
from the DP that is in a DP group? Anyway to solve this?

Hi,
You could use Content Library Explorer in ConfigMgr SCCM 2012 R2 Tool to check the status the package on the DP.
Please try to Update Distribution Points(right click package) and monitor the Distmgr.log.

Joyce

Tabbed Panel table content flowing over and past container content.

How can I "contain" the tabbed panel content, which happens to be a table, inside the main content area and "push" the rest of the container (just the footer) down the web page. It's like the tabbed menu table section "floats" above, over and past the container section which then pushes the footer information over to the side of the container. This is my first time to use the tabbed panel and I thought it was goin to be so easy....obviously I'm doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for your advice!

Normally, tabbed panel content (the panel itself) will expand and contract to accommodate your content. If you have set a fixed height on the panel group, or constrained the height of the panel in any way, it will do as you ask, and not expand or contract any more.
If you want to accommodate contents that are variable in length, remove any height restrictions. If you still need to restrain the height, leave it in and add overflow: auto; to bring up a scroll bar when the content is too long and you don't want to pop out of the box.
If you add the height and the overflow attributes to the .TabbedPanelsContentGroup selector, your tabs will remain stationary and your panel contents will scroll.

Problems distributing content to DP's after KB2910552 hotfix

I’m having a major problem sending packages/applications to distribution points after installing the KB2910552 hotfix
to our SCCM01 server, which is our CAS. I performed the install, ignoring the warning of possibly needing to do a restart first (regretting it now). The installation completed successfully. Even checked the log to make sure. From there, I rebooted the CAS.
After it came up, I went into the Admin Console and saw it created the packages for deployment. I tried to distribute them to my 3 distribution points. All 3 failed. Here's the content status description:
Distribution Manager failed to access the source directory.
Possible cause: Ditribution Manager does not have sufficient rights to the source directory.Possible cause: There is not enough disk space available on the site server.
Here's the errors from the distrmgr.log:
Cannot create \\SCCM01.domain.com\V$\SCCMContentLib, [error code: 67, error message: The network name cannot be found.].
Cannot create the content library storage directory \\SCCM01.domain.com\V$\SCCMContentLib, use the default directory.
Failed to create share – SCCMContentLib$ on server SCCM01.domain.com . Error = 2116
GetContentLibLocation() failed
Failed to get the content library path on server SCCM01.domain.com
I noticed the V$. I have no idea why that's even there. There is no share drive using V. I have everything on an E: drive. I went to the following reg keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\DP\ContentLibUsableDrives
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\DP\UsablePackageShareDrives
...and they show V as the drive letter.
Again, I have no idea why??? In Admin Console, the DP role for that server has "E" for the drive.
Will removing and re-adding the DP role and re-adding it with the same drive letters resolve the issues? I have major concerns though...
1) SCCM01 is our CAS, will it remove everything we have distributed to it?
2) Will we have to re-redistribute all the packages, applications…etc, to that DP again?
I would really appreciate any help with this. I've already spent 6 hours trying to resolve this. THANK YOU!

I apologize for the confusion. I'm kind of "taking over" after this was already in place by someone else. I'm jumping in the fire, per-say. Maybe it wasn't set up correctly from the beginning. We're still fairly new to this beast.
Here's a screen cap of our servers:
I can tell you this...All three have the Distribution Point site system role. SCCM01 has "E" as the drive. Content Library and Package Share Library are "1". I do notice that the SCCMContentLib folder doesn't exist on the E drive.
I went ahead and just removed the DP site system role from SCCM01 and recreated it according to how it was set up originally. I still get the same errors in the distmgr.log. I cannot figure out why it keeps referencing V$. There is no V drive on the SCCM01
server.

Can I use one Apple TV unit to distribute content to two TV's?

Can I use one Apple TV unit to distribute content to two TV's? If so, how?
I want to be able to purchase movies off of the iTunes store on both TV's and to display photos and listen to music.
Thank you for looking.

Apple TV is designed to display content on a single TV only. Although it has component and HDMI outputs they are not independent and, as has been pointed out already, HDMI will take precedence over the component video.
You will need two Apple TVs, one for each TV, and you can then sync both with one computer either with the same content or with different content selected from a common library in iTunes..
Hope this helps.

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

Can an InCopy editor add, remove and edit a text frame placed inside the main story text frame?

I think I already know the answer to this which is - no. I'll explain why I am asking the question in a second, but the reason I think the simple answer is no is because - text frames are controlled by a designer in the layout file, an editor using incopy can only edit the text and images placed inside text frames, and so cannot resize them, add or delete them.
Ok, so the reason I have asked this.
Is there a way around this so that editors in incopy can edit certain types of text frame that are contained within the main text frame? I'm using these text frames to contain specific paragraph styles, giving them a boxed look and also with an anchored icon in the top left of the text frame depending on the type of paragraph it is. See screenshot as an example of a green text frame that I am using to contain paragraphs of type "tip".
If it is not possible for editors in incopy to add, edit or resize these text frames (green tip frame in the example above), then how else can I style these paragraphs to give the same visual appearance, but without the use of wrapping them in a text frame?
One (not so good) way around this is for the designer to add the text frames in the layout file after he gets the content back from the editor, then moving the "tip" paragraphs into these newly created text frames. However when the editor updates the content in incopy and gets these new text frames in their copy, they can not then delete them if they wish to, or if they add or reduce content inside of these green text frames then the frames dont grow to fit their edited content. So I dont think its a solution for the designer to control the adding, removing and resizing of these frames.
UPDATE: I have just discovered that once a text frame has been placed into the document by the designer and the editor updates their copy in incopy- they can then use the "Position Tool" to select that text frame - allowing them to resize it, or delete it! Fantastic. But would the editor be able to add these frames in themselves to begin with? Maybe have a document containing all of the objects available to them, copy and paste one of them into the main document and edit its content? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this? Essentially I would like the editor to control the insertion, editing and removal of these inline text frames.

True. But when all I am trying to achieve is a border around a paragraph, use of a table seems overkill to me. But if thats the only solution I have so far then I will have to go down that route.
It would be useful to have an object libraries panel in InCopy so that editors can drag across predefined text frames into their doc via InCopy, but I cant see that option in InCopy. is there one? I have also thought about exporting the frames as seperate InDesign Snippets and saving them to an objects folder, then when an editor needs to insert one into their doc they simply use File > Place > "Choose required text frame snippet". However I have found that InCopy can't place InDesign snippets so that theory was a failure. Is there another format I could use to save the objects and bring them into InCopy? List below shows my findings so far for trying to save/export a text frame from InDesign and then import into InCopy:
InDesign Snippet (.idms) - can't import into InCopy
InDesign Document (.indd) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Template (.indt) - imports content as an image - only editable in InDesign
InDesign Library (.indl) - can't import into InCopy - no panel available in InCopy for object libraries (that I can see...)
InCopy Markup (.icml) - only imports the text, loses the text frame
